[Activities of peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactatedehydrogenase in amniotic fluid in normal and pathologically affected pregnancy (author's transl)]. / Zur Aktivität von Peroxidase, alkalischer Phosphatase und Laktatdehydrogenase im Fruchtwasser bei normal und pathologisch verlaufenden Schwangerschaften.

Reported in this paper are measurements of peroxidase as well as of alkaline phosphatases, both stable and labile to heat, and of lactatedehydrogenase in amniotic fluid. Included in the investigations reported were cases of normal pregnancy, pregnancy with low-weight infants, gestoses, and Rh incompatibility. The above enzymes proved unsuitable for assessment of foetal condition, as may be seen from the results. Identification of pregnancy age below 30 weeks was found to be possible by peroxidase determination.
